Make Me Stay (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781802507270)

Sometimes a second chance at love is all you need to stay.

Sarah Wildes didn't plan to come back to Fallbank, Oregon, but when she's laid off and her apartment floods, there's no other choice but to go home. While job hunting, Sarah decides to try her hand at small-town marketing with her family's shop, Three Sisters Apothecary. At the same time, she's helping to plan her little sister's wedding. To her dismay, this also means partnering with the best man and her ex, Cornelius. She might still love him, but he'd never forgive her for what happened in college if he found out. Sarah needs to keep her feelings in check to get through this wedding then head back to Seattle.

Cornelius Hawthorne grew up loving the girl next door. He never imagined being with anyone else until the day Sarah broke things off. Ten years later, he co-owns Timber Logging Company and his business partner is getting married. Cornelius decides it's high time to move on from childish dreams, and the best way to fill the empty place in his life is to find someone new. But when Sarah's back home, he's thrown off his new goals. Cornelius knows trusting Sarah again is a mistake and resolves to keep her at a distance. Too bad his heart doesn't understand the assignment.

Sarah is hiding her past from Cornelius, but as her emotions rise once more, can she come clean and restart her life in Fallbank? Cornelius is at last ready to move on and find someone new, but with Sarah around, can he start fresh? With their hearts on the line, can these two heal from the past and see if they can make love stay?
